Here you can see we have added a Curves and Vibrance adjustment layer in Photoshop. Filters don't work and you can't construct complex image masks either, the effect has to be applied across all of the image. This can only be achieved by adding adjustment layers in Photoshop. Time for the fun! Let's start some colour correcting. You can see below that the project has been automatically set to 8bit RGB. It is important that Photoshop has a background and getting the image in this way will make sure all the settings are ok. It will then appear in the share options.

If you haven't exported a still image out of Final Cut Pro before, you may need to go into the FCPX preferences and add that option. Here you can see we have a washed out look that we want to correct. The easiest way we found to get the right setting in Photoshop was to output a still from FCPX. You can of course do this in DaVinci Resolve and other third party apps. There are many image processing applications that can output a LUT and the process will be similar. To make a LUT, we show you the process in Photoshop and Affinity Photo. Think of each pixel's RGB number being changed by a set of rules. Not too sure what a LUT is? No, not Luton Airport on a plane ticket, it's a table of numbers that gives an output value for each of the input values. We will concentrate on the latter as we would think most creative LUT use will be on the Timeline and not in the Inspector. The new update to Final Cut Pro X (10.4) bought the ability to load custom camera and custom creative LUTS. In this tutorial, we will show you how to make your own custom LUTS for Final Cut Pro X colour grading (Version 10.4)
